Federal land-us-e legislation is expected to be passed early next year which will mandate some kind of state control within three commence over years local land-us- mission for review and ment. The plan shall include the identification of critical areas of more than local concern. com- - e decisions, specifically in critical areas and over ciritical activities of greater than local concern. The bill has been favorably endorsed by many Utah officials, organization leaders and by the Utah Legislative Council. If passed as written, it has also been endorsed by Sanpete County Representative Ray Nielsen of Fairview who says it is a good bill. Rep. Nielsen attended hearings around the state on this issue and feels that the bill represents the thinking of most Utahns. He says, however, that one of the big challenges in the bill will be to come up with a plan for the protection of individual property rights. The bill was written by a Blue Ribbon Task Force. The bill would create a State Land Use Commission with the respond sibility of compiling land use plans, innine-memb- county-designe- cluding locally designated critical areas of local concern and also those of more than local concern, into a statewide plan. This would be presented to the 1975 legislature along with a suggested method of state development regulation and enforcement within critical areas of more than local concern. Critical areas of strictly local concern would remain entirely under local jurisdiction and regulation. The bill explicitly charges the commission to devise a method for protection of private property rights in the process. Most of Utahs Counties including Sanpete already have land-us- e laws. However, mostly due to the lack of funds, these law have not always been enforced. The new land use law will give the county tools to work with. As members of the Task Force and legislators toured the state, they found that most citizens want land use to remain in the control of the local people and local governments. This is one of the fundamental features of the bill. Rep Nielsen says that if legislators delete this provision in favor of strong state control, he would not be able to support the bill even though he favors the bill as a whole. There is opposition to the local control issue mainly from some supposedly more informed individuals who dont think local city and county officials are capable of carrying out their responsibilities. There will need to be some coordination with the state government and the state will need to provide funds and technical assistance. Each local government will need to submit a plan governing all land within its jurisdiction to the com Dan O. Johnson Dan Johnson Mr. Dan 0. Johnson has been in postmaster appointed Fountain Green, the Postal Service announced on January 4, 1974. Mr. Johnson received his under merit appointment selection procedures authorized for the Postal Service in legislation enacted by Congress and signed by President Nixon. He assumed his new duties postal ex- perience since enterting the Service in 1958. Mr. Johnson was detailed to the position of Officer in Charge on June 28, 1973. Prior to this detail, the appointee was a City Carrier in the Nephi, Utah Post Public hearings shall be held at least once in each local government jurisdiction prior to a completion of its land use plan. The commission shall complete its review and comments on the local government plan is inconsistent with the states land use guidelines, make recommendations for conformance, or specify any other matter deemed necessary or of assistance. In Section 4 the bill provides for a land use commission who will be appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate. At least one member shall be appointed from the area covered by each multi-count- y association, but not more than two members shall be from any one county and the membership shall be additionally qualified as follows: two members shall be elected county officials, one from a rural area and one from an urban area; two members shall be elected city officials, one from a rural area and one from an urban area and there will be one member from each of the following groups; industry, land environmental developers, interests, agricultural interest appointed new postmaster after extensive Glen S.

Green Elementary and Jr. High Schools, and graduated from the Moroni High School in 1939. He served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1946. He married the former Miss Madeleine Orsi, from Paris, France, January 4, 1947, in Salt Lake City. The marriage was solemnized the following year in the Manti LDS Temple. The young couple lived in Fountain Green where Dan was working for the Big Springs Power Company., until 1952, when they moved to Nephi, Utah and where they presently reside. He was the foreman for the Thermoid Western Company for eight years, then went to work for the Postal Service. Dan and Madeleine are the parents of three children: Mrs. gordon (Annette) Lovell of Nephi; Mrs. Susan Jones, Salt Lake City; Mr. Alex Johnson, of Nephi. They have two (must be actively engaged in agriculture; and one from the citizenry at large. There has also been some question as to the 1975 date for adoption of state level regulation of the development of critical areas. Some feel that teeth should be put in the law now and others feel that most counties are already well advanced in deisgnating these areas and that the 1975 date would make little difference. Rep. Nielsen is especially interested in knowing how the people in his district feel concerning land use. He has made a special effort to meet the people and hear their views both at public hearings, meetings and privately. It is also a possibility that the legislature will consider some new rules and regulations governing the elk and deer hunts. Rep. Nielsen would like to hear from his constitutents on this issue as well.
